I'm suprised over the amount of ITG's as it's not a cheap solution, but it shows that many see it as the most effective intake  :smiley:
(I know Forge isn't cheap also  :wink: )

....I'm not so surprised. SteveP was very enthusiastic about it and did some convincing dyno runs with it. ITG also have a good reputation being intake specialists. Furthermore, there may have been a group buy deal IIRC.

As I wrote in my Twintake review, people choose their intake for a variety of reasons and bhp numbers do influence many. The choice tends to be based on the following considerations (not in order of importance):-

- Performance
- Standard of manufacture
- Ease of maintenance
- Sound
- Appearance aka 'Eye-Candy'
- Price

I would expect the ITG to deliver slightly more bhp than the Twintake if dyno'd back-to-back on the same car, but personally I really don't like the ITG's Heath Robinson appearance. ETTO!

PDT:
Dbilas inlet and a pipercross universal filter instead of the airbox. I found this sounded and performed better than the twintake ( both looking at road logs and dyno testing)

Twintake would be my second option.

Toast:
Bsh intake for me wrapped in heat proof tape does what it says on the tin for £120 :innocent:

PDT:
I also like the BSH, bit loud for my taste but price and performance wise, cant beat it.

Toast:
I'm happy with it seems to perform aswell as the rest :happy2:
